“Officers saw signs of criminal activity and called for assistance from Task Force members, including a Boone County K-9 officer to sniff the vehicle. The K-9 officer indicated the presence of narcotics in the car and officers located illegal prescription medications inside the vehicle.

“Following the execution of a search warrant on the vehicle, 5.75 pounds of a purple gray powder suspected to be methamphetamine was found in a large plastic bag. With the estimated street value of $275,000, all the law enforcement agencies involved were pleased to take such a significant amount of this dangerous drug out of circulation,” Bacon said.

Calyeca was booked into the Clinton County Jail on several drug-related charges and a federal indictment is pending as a result of the investigation.

The Interstate Criminal Enforcement Task Force includes officers from the Frankfort Police Department, Boone County Sheriff’s Office, Clinton County Sheriff’s Office and the Lebanon Police Department.
